“I shop for small buttons and bows at Hobby Lobby. I’m a quilter so I buy my fabrics at the quilt store and I always have some left over to make doll clothes.
I shop for and have the hardest time finding ruffled eyelet lace in a size small enough for doll clothes.
I have the hardest time finding doll weight hook and loop tape that is affordable as I live in Canada so shipping and customs costs are astronomical
I “shop” for most of my doll supplies at my moms:) she’s been sewing for years and has just about everything on hand😊
I shop for most of the fabrics for my dolls at fabric.com and notions like felt flowers, pompoms, faux fur poms, etc at Etsy. (by the way I make 18" fabric art dolls that fir the AG patterns.)
I have the hardest time finding doll clothes notions in local stores….I hate to pay shipping and wait for online orders when I can’t even see the product to determine quality in person.
Buttons. Finding buttons that are correct scale is sometimes hard. If they are to small or to big it doesn’t look right.
I shop for lace and other trims at Etsy (my favourite shop is Delightful Designer). I struggle to find shoes for 14" dolls!
I often find props at the Dollar Tree.

I love the Velcro and zippers I buy from zipper that doll. It’s an online shop, But I don’t really know where to find other notions like buckles and other closures and embellishments.

I have the hardest time finding small buttons ( or even beads) for dolls clothes when I don’t want pastel baby colors, or the dolls are small. I shop at everything from Joanne’s, Michaels, and Walmart.
I have the hardest time finding small prints for the AG boy doll. I use Home Sew for my zippers and buttons.
I shop for dolly fabric at thrift store clothing racks or second hand baby clothes.
I shop for doll related items in my over abundant stash of everything first. I can thank clothes that no longer fit (me, hubby and grands), neighbors gave their stashes when they moved, friends and family have “donated” and I have gotten boxes of stuff at garage sales. I will need to live to 300 to use it all. And yet, I still buy stuff, but mostly shoe soles from, wait for it, Pixie Faire!
Since I am turning 78 soon I have tried to shop in my own sewing room! But, I must admit to an occasional stop at the fabric store!
I like to shop for doll shoes and hangers at American Fashion online. I pick up old watches and such at yard sales and auctions to take apart for the buckles.
I shop for doll scale fabric and notions at my local thrift stores.
I shop at isewfordoll.com for the tiniest doll size snaps, zippers, buttons, elastics, buckles, etcetera to make my doll clothes. She is closing shop for a month or so but will be back online around February. The quality is great, the selection fantastic and the service excellent.
I love the Velcro and zippers I buy from zipper that doll. It’s an online shop, But I don’t really know where to find other notions like buckles and other closures and embellishments.
I shop for fabric, etc at thrift shops. It’s amazing what one can find !!!!
I have the hardest time finding 4mm shank buttons that do not look cheap.
I love the search for doll supplies. JoAnn, Home Sew, and Nancy’s Notions have items I can use, but I have amassed a stash of trims through thrift stores and yard sales. I intend to review these comments and make a list of some options I hadn’t heard of before.
I find unique tiny buttons at Button Jones on Etsy.
I have the hardest time finding small zippers
I shop for fabrics for doll clothes at my home stash! On each of my birthdays, 70 right now, I want to have reduced my bins by one. At this rate, I need to live to age 107!
I have a hard time finding notions, like zippers, buckles, etc in doll sizes. It’s a great excuse to shop the Garment District of New York City. I like the assortment of doll sized prints at Farmhouse Fabrics.
I have a hard time finding shoes for 1950’s vintage dolls.
I find that our only store for fabric/supplies, Joann’s, has less and less variety and are often out of basic things like medium rick rack. The color choices are also poor.
I have the hardest time finding tiny doll-sized notions.
I have the hardest time finding small zippers and thin hook and loop tape.
I shop for velcro at Etsy
I shop at etsy a lot for fabric and zippers; at ebay for studs, charms, and buttons. All the fabric stores get a look, too. But usually, I run through Goodwill to repurpose dresses, coats, and jeans, as well as jewelry.
I have the hardest time finding really tiny snaps
I have the hardest time finding the right size and color for a zipper I need and usually do my shopping at Walmart or Hobby Lobby.
I have a hard time finding zippers to scale.

I shop thrift stores garage sales clearance bins Amazon estate sales are the best as I have found vintage material and cheap

I have so many little scraps of lace and fabric from sewing for children and adults that I don’t usually have a hard time finding supplies but I would like to know of a place that has little tiny print fabric.
I shop at lens Mills store and our local thrift store for fabric. Still hard to find doll size notions here in Canada.
I love to shop for fabric and recycle clothes for fabric and buttons. I have a huge stash of fabric and notions. I love to plan out what I am going to make and plan based on what I have. I don’t have overall buckles so I don’t make overalls that need buckles. Plastic separating zippers can be cut down. I have more fabric now than I have time left on this earth to use, so I have begun to slowly part with some of my fabric.
I shop through Ali Express for all sorts of things to do with the dolls. It can take a while to get the orders from China but I’ve always been happy with the orders. I have the hardest time finding doll sized buttons and cute little add ons that complete the outfit. I sew for the salvation army so I also don’t want to spend a fortune.

This year I found several cute Christmas props on sale at Hobby Lobby- mini snow globes, mini baking sheets with gingerbread men and mini nutcrackers. Also Walmart had ornament sets that worked- mini candy canes and sparkly cupcakes. For patterns I shop Pixie Faire! <3
I shop for my American Girl Doll at JoAnns fabric Shop.
I shop for doll shoes at Hobby Lobby.
I have the hardest time finding traditional doll shoes for Wellie Wisher and Glitter Girl dolls. I would love to see more patterns of shoes for them on this website, especially for traditional and historical shoes. You sell the sweetest clothing patterns for them; but I don’t like how they look with the plastic shoes that come with this size dolls. The styles just don’t go together naturally. I’d also love if the 18 inch shoe patterns that you already sell could be resized to truly fit the smaller WW and GG dolls. I’d surely be interested in buying those patterns.
I have the hardest time finding tiny snaps.
I have the hardest time finding pinwale corduroy fabric in small prints. It makes such cute jumpers, but I can NEVER find it!
“I have the hardest time finding doll patterns for different size doll you can always find them for 18 inch dolls but for the 14 in doll Weller Wishers are few and far apart”
…tiny print fabrics! ><>
I shop for fabric, buttons and trim at garage and estate sales
Finding true doll scale fabrics and notions is always a bit of a challenge and I always keep my eyes open. I’ve had good luck finding high quality mini cotton prints on Etsy and fatquartershop, little buttons at Hobby Lobby, tiny rickrack at antiques malls, and I’ve gotten great remnants from older family members. Sometimes too I’ll run across a garment on the clearance rack for cheap that I can repurpose. And I always evaluate clothes before I donate them — they might have buttons that be saved or some detail that is fun!
I shop at our local thrift store where sometimes they have fabric by the yard but always have beautiful “fabric” in ready made clothes.
I have the hardest time finding material for boys with the correct size of print.
I shop for doll accessories at Dollar Tree
I love to shop in thrift stores, as I said in another entry! LOL! I am able to look through the clothing and come up with fancier fabrics from dress, jackets, etc. I am then able to wash and dry these fabrics and take them apart and make beautiful outfits for my dolls on the cheap!!
“I shop for tiny trims at my local fabric store"
The hardest items for me to find are bib overall buckles in doll size. If I do they are very expensive.
I shop at JoAnn’s and Hobby Lobby. I can find material there, but I have trouble finding notions that are small enough for doll clothes.

I have the hardest time finding zippers for jackets for dolls
I shop for material at Joanne’s and have the hardest time finding 1/4” Velcro and mini zippers there.
I have the hardest time finding buttons, zippers and small trims suitable for 18” dolls here in Canada. I have ordered a few things from the USA but the shipping charges and the exchange can be expensive. I usually just try to adapt the bigger sizes to fit the dolls clothes.
I have a hard time finding good, scale correct light weight wool for boys clothes so I shop at our local thrift store, Bibles for Missions . Also hard to find good separating zippers.
I have the hardest time finding black eyelets for my shoes. I like the ones with washers and can only find them with other colors, never alone.

I shop for the 1/4 inch buttons I use at Jo Anns fabric and I use their coupons to make them more affordable.
Because I live quite far from any larger city it is often hard to find supplies I need.
I shop on line at HOME SEW. They are located in Bethlehem Pa. Now carry Cinnamons favorite things. I find everything I need in their shop. Small zippers, buttons, trims, etc. and even carry soles for the Pixie Faire shoe patterns. Fantastic people to deal with. My neighbor and I have ordered from them for well over 20 years. Most of the time I do not like paying postage on any mail order, but the no stress shopping is well worth it.
I find suitably sized prints in a variety of colors at my local fabric store.
I have the hardest time finding doll-sized frog closures. Thanks for the giveaway.
I shop for supplies at Fields Fabric, they have excellent fabrics and the remnants are of excellent quality. Located in the Grand Rapids, MI area.
Thank you
I shop for zippers, buckles, shoe and small notions on line at www.newarkdress.com. They have the exact size zippers for doll jacket patterns.
I have the hardest time finding doll zippers in the color I need and small print fabrics.
I shop for fabric at JoAnns and always use my coupons. So much more affordable that way.
I shop for unique fabrics and trims at my local thrift stores. There must be a lot of crafty women in our town, because I find a lot of interesting items.
I usually find my trips in the clearance department at Walmart and Joann’s
I have the hardest time finding doll sized fastenings (buckles, zippers).
I shop for zippers, buttons, and velcro for doll clothes at Zipper that Doll.
I have the hardest time finding colored Velcro to coordinate with outfits.
I have a hard time finding them anywhere but I look around at Goodwill stores or Salvation Army stores and Thrife stores that support abused women and I look at Hobby Lobby!! Thanks!!
I shop for doll scale props at The Dollar Tree. Shaped erasers make great props.
I have a very hard time finding trims and fabrics other than woven cotton. I live in a very small town more than an hour from the nearest major shopping. We have a nice quilt shop, but they carry very little suitable for dolls, other than quilt fabric.
I shop for doll backdrops on ebay. I buy most of my fabric at Joanns, Walmart, or my Aunt’s scrap bin. I also find my trims and buttons at JoAnns. But I have the hardest time finding zippers, especially separating ones and I’ve never been able to find the proper sized hooks for overalls.
I have the hardest time finding zippers and small notions.
I shop for fabric and buttons in my own craft stash. I’ve inherited or been gifted loads of fabric and a hatbox full of buttons. For doll outfits I love finding buttons that really make the look.
I find it hard to find fabrics that are the right scale for doll clothes.
I have the hardest time finding small scale prints or weaves in specialty fabrics, like swimwear, sportswear, and Jersey knits.
I have the hardest time finding tiny doll sized plastic headbands, I ended up making my own.
I have the hardest time finding print knits scaled for dolls. I use a lot of knits as they are easy for little fingers dressing their dolls.
I find hard to find items for my doll sewing at Dollspart. I’ve been using them for years. I have reproduction and historical dolls. They have modern as well as vintage supplies. Alone with ALL the others. Lol
